Land Acknowledgement

The land that we know as Port Townsend was first known as a thriving village of the S’Klallam People; this village was called qatáy (“kuh‐tai”). The S’Klallam’s well‐known chief, čičməhán (“cheech‐muh‐hann”), or Chetzemoka, was born at qatáy in 1808. While this area belonged, and still belongs, to the S’Klallams, it is acknowledged that other local tribes camped along the beaches as they visited or moved along in their travels. The City of Port Townsend honors the sovereignty and treaty rights of the three S’Klallam/Klallam Tribes that are tied to this area and continues to strive in partnership for the betterment of our local Indigenous Peoples.
